Rep. David Meeks, R-Conway, and Rep. Sue Scott, R-Rogers, visit Thursday with World War II and Korean War veteran Tom Bass during a tour of the Fayetteville Veterans Home.

The Fayetteville Veterans Home owes $236,000 in unpaid bills from previous fiscal years, said Karen Watkins, who became chief financial officer for the state Department of Veterans Affairs in October.
